I learned the trick of gathering a ruffle by using a zigzag stitch over crochet yarn - very handy when you have 320" of fabric to gather. I reduced the amount used to 240" for the second skirt, and I liked that better. The skirts are reversible (the ruffle fabric is the backing). I quilted them to accentuate the spiral with gold metallic thread. Thanks for looking.
